The confidential human source behind the detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions was reportedly "Highly credible" and used by the FBI in multiple criminal investigations dating back to the Obama administration.
Friday's exclusive by Fox News provides further insight into Sen. Chuck Grassley's focus on the FBI - as opposed to the Biden family - as the primary scandal in play.
"We aren't interested in whether or not the accusations against [then]-Vice President Biden are accurate," Grassley said during an interview last week discussing FBI Director Christopher Wray's refusal to comply with the congressional subpoena issued for the FD-1023 form.
He claimed that "In August 2020, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters' team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease." The whistleblower further alleged that the FBI HQ team that handled the Auten assessment, after concluding the reporting was disinformation, placed the information in a restricted access sub-file that only the particular agents who uncovered the CHS's information could access.
Not only does this evidence suggest FBI headquarters obstructed justice, but the date of the CHS's report indicates those responsible for misbranding the intel as disinformation sought to interfere in the 2020 election.
As Grassley's colleague in the House, James Comer, revealed, the CHS report was dated June 30, 2020, and while the allegations against candidate Biden came from a "Highly credible" CHS, the FBI closed them.
According to the whistleblower, FBI headquarters closed out the source even though some of the allegations had already been verified and other details could have been verified.
